Food Waste Recycling Week in Cork County

National Food Waste Recycling Week will run from the 5th until the 11th of June 2023. This campaign, managed by MyWaste.ie will provide practical advice, with easy to follow hints and tips to encourage everyone to recycle more of their food waste.

As part of the local campaign, Cork County Council will host exhibitions and talks in Council libraries in Mallow, Fermoy, Youghal, Cobh, Bandon and Skibbereen. To assist people in separating their food waste, a supply of food waste caddies, each with a starter pack of caddy liners and an information leaflet will also be available to the public at all libraries and mobile libraries across the county throughout the week-long campaign, subject to availability.

As spaces are limited, it is advisable to book your place for the talks at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LibraryTalks or at the library.
